I've always thought that you would have retired long before your passing but, as old Big Ben in London, you kept on going.
I still carry the memories of having worked for you when I was in the Sixth, first as a reserve officer then as a regular from 1980 to 1982. The one thing you never did was micro manage any of us. I still remember the ornate badge you wore on your uniform and your old Colt with those special grips.
To Mrs. Curry and family, my deepest...

One day as I was caring for him...

We the Members and Former Members of the NOPD have lost our treasure. Every member of the NOPD today and every former member alive today knew Manuel Curry.
No other Police Department had a Manuel Curry with the tenure he had, let alone, a WW II veteran that stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
His service to our City, our Police Department and especially the people of the 6th. District (Central City)was unparalleled.
A big void has been placed in...
